At about 1 p.m. the call went out for La Junta emergency personnel to go to 1400 Carson, where there was an automobile-truck collision with injuries involved.

Two injured were transported to Arkansas Valley Regional Medical Center. Ambulance and fire department personnel, paramedics and police were at the scene. People were watching from the hospital down both sides of Carson to 14th Street.

Chief Aaron Eveatt reported, "Two patients were transported to AVRMC with non life threatening injuries. Both patients were the drivers and the only occupants in each vehicle."
